It was in the wee hours of local time, was feeling sleepy after spending the previous night watching NBA All stars game but couldn’t afford not to watch the Grammy awards live from staples center in Los Angeles.When A listers stepped out in star-studded style for music’s biggest night of the year, i knew there would be some great entertainment ahead.The 58th annual Grammy Awards red carpet kicked off as award favourites such as Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd among others gracing the red carpet stage.Lady Gaga showed up at the red carpet with flaming orange hair, bright eye make-up and a blue suit-style space-themed dress that would be sure to make David Bowie proud ahead of her tribute performance.Justin Bieber donned sutied up with his cutie-pie of a little half-brother, Jaxon. Beliebers around the world are bound to go bonkers over this photo on Twitter.I also saw Adele arrive with a red carpet wave but the British singer seems to have lost a bit of weight which is encouraging.Canadian singer The Weeknd was accompanied by his girlfriend Bella Hadid and they looked hot.The beau of the night Taylor Swift arrived sporting a banging new bob with a hot tube top and pink high-waisted skirt showing off those famous pins and was with her blud Selena Gomez at the red carpet who wore a plunging, glittery blue gown.

Taylor Swift at the 2016 Grammy awards

Taylor Swift won the Grammy for Album of the Year and used her acceptance speech to make a subtle dig at Kanye West.Swift singled out those “who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame” as she claimed the Grammy for her hit album, 1989.It came after West released a song called Famous which has been widely criticized for its misogynistic lyrics in which he claimed he made Swift famous. Swift also became the first woman to win Album of the Year twice.“I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or you fame,” Swift said on stage at the Grammys.The 2016 Grammy Awards not only awarded musicians with miniature golden gramophones for last year’s projects, but also honored late musicians for their overall cultural contributions.Among those honored were the late legendary Rocker David Bowie who passed away last month.Others were Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White as well as the Eagles’ frontman Glenn Frey and the great blues icon B.B. King.
